We've redesigned our Hose Cart to include even more smart features that make it easy and convenient to move hoses where you need them. The lightweight, powder-coated steel frame sits on four wheels with 10" pneumatic tires that maneuver easily around your landscape. The reel is set perpendicular to the wheels so the cart won't tip as you roll and unroll the hose, and the crank is set at a comfortable height to minimize bending. A brass swivel connector and 5' inlet hose prevent annoying kinking and damage to your hose. Made from 1-inch tubular, powder-coated steel with durable fittings and a padded handle. A wire basket keeps watering accessories close at hand.

I bought this because we connected a 100' and a 50' hose together to be able to reach the water spout and the garden. Putting it away and taking it out was so cumbersome, especially when there was water still in it - it was so heavy. And then when the ground was wet and muddy...anyway, by the time we put this together and had the hose on it, I couldn't believe that 150' of hose took up so little room on the spindle. Before it was just splattered all over the floor of the shed. We wished we had done it sooner!

I have this cart next to the water faucet. It holds all the hose we need for our yard and then some. It's well built and sturdy and looks a lot better than having rolls of garden hose laying on the ground.

This looks good and sturdy but is too weak to withstand average water pressure and leaks profusely at the point of connection to hose. It's a disaster and so far we have been unable to find a way to make it work !!!

The cart moves too much when reeling the hose back up. It is fine for unreeling. The leader hose contains carcinogens and warns not to use it for drinking water. Not what I wanted to see on a hose that will be used to water the vegetable garden.

I ordered two because we just installed new sod and we water every day. It takes time to assemble but it is not difficult if everything arrives correctly. We put the first one together with no issue. The second one had the handle on backwards so my husband borrowed tools from a neighbor and fixed it. But the tire was flat on the second one. My husband took it to the gas station to fill with air and it remained flat. I called Gardener's Supply company and they are shipping us a new tire. If it hadn't been for the trouble with the second hose cart, I would have given this a higher rating. I would recommend this cart with some reservations.

Leaks every time from the connection piece to faucet hose. Joint is made of cheap plastic and just when you think it's tightened and isn't leaking, you move the hose wheel and it starts spraying again. A complete waste of time and my hard earned dollars! So aggravated, have never written a negative review on a product like this.

This cart was a little difficult to put together, because some of the screw holes didn't exactly line up. Other that that, it's a very sturdy cart and we have almost 200 feet of hose on it, with room for more. It winds and unwinds the hose easily and evenly.

The price of the cart commensurates with the quality. When I first received the package, one of the wheels was off of the rim. GS immediately sent me a replacement wheel, although they sent it to my mailing address, not the shipping address I specifically gave the CS rep. It did reach me and we replaced it and now the cart is great. My husband doesn't like the fact that the tires have an inter tube which would be hard to replace if it ever has a flat. He would prefer solid tires but GS said they guarantee their parts for 2 years so I'll hope my luck runs longer than that.It seems to be a pretty study item. The warning that came with it was weird, it was concerning the black hose that attaches from the cart to your existing hose. They warned not to handle it, or something like that. Anyway, it did smell bad but since I'm keeping it outside it doesn't matter. I put it in the shade because it seems that the rubber handles and maybe even the tires won't withstand full sun exposure indefinitely and will degrade over time, like any foam rubber. So, that said, so far I like the cart. We have two hundred feet of hose we have to drag around. I put one hundred on the cart and left the other hose on my wall, that way, either way, I'll only be winding up one hose.
